November 01 2019 - 3:16PM
The Verizon Foundation today announced a $100,000 grant to the
California Fire Foundation to support the immediate relief efforts
for those impacted by the devastating 2019 California wildfires.
"Our hearts go out to Californians who’ve been affected by the
recent wildfires," said Jonathan LeCompte, Verizon West Area
President. "We know that disaster recovery takes time and
resources, so we’re proud to support the California Fire Foundation
as they help our neighbors rebuild their lives.”
For our consumer and small business customers impacted by the
Easy and Hill Fires in California, beginning November 1 through
November 3, Verizon is providing unlimited calling, texting and
data to affected communities impacted in Ventura and San Bernardino
Counties.
Customers can verify eligibility for call/text/data relief by
entering their zip code here:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/featured/relief/.
Our Verizon Response Team is available 24/7 to coordinate with
first responders. We have mobilized charging stations, devices,
special equipment, emergency vehicles and more to support local,
state and federal agencies. First responder customers with wireless
priority service should utilize *272 when placing calls.
Verizon retail stores may be closed or have reduced hours due to
the wildfires and power outages. You can find the nearest one
that’s open by visiting:
https://www.verizonwireless.com/stores/.
Verizon customers can donate to disaster relief efforts by
texting the word CAWILDFIRES to
90999 for the American Red Cross or
FOOD to 80100 for World Central
Kitchen, and $10 will be added to their bill upon confirmation of
the billing zip code. Anyone looking to help a Verizon team member
impacted by the wildfires can donate to the VtoV Fund by texting
VtoV to 501501 to donate $10 or
“PLEDGE” to donate $25.
Here’s where our Network stands:
Verizon’s network remains unaffected by the Easy, Hill, Getty,
Kincade and Tick wildfires.
With regards to the public safety power shutoffs, we are doing
everything we can to minimize the impact of planned power outages
on our customers. However, there may be discrete areas of our
network that experience service disruption or degradation, due to
topographical and other technological constraints that prevent the
deployment of backup power or other resources to a particular cell
site.
